Thu, 04 Apr 2013 03:43:13 +0000http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/?p=1434386#comment-160027Expensive? yeah maybe 1M tops, he might have 24 pts,(mostly when playing with St Louis and Stamkos) but with the emergence of Alex Killorn, Tyler Johnson, and recently called up Brett Connolly. Tampa is a better team NOW than it was yesterday. Conacher was easily replacable! Tampa Bay has a lot of NHL-ready Prospects (JT Brown, Brett Connolly,Panik, Namestnikov. Palat, Tyrell, Barberio) All of these guys could be at the NHL level this season or next season. Like I said Conacher can be replaced by any of these guys! Bishop on the other hand, give us another option if Anders Lindback doesn’t pan out like he was suppose to. Also Bishop has the rest of the season to prove himself as our #1 Goalie! love the trade!

Anyways Conacher needs to bulk up a little, he was a fine player for Tampa Bay, but I find he was always pushed around.

In the end, with Ben Bishop in net and Brett Connolly called up, Tampa Bay is a better team NOW and for the future! IMO great trade!!

Wed, 03 Apr 2013 19:14:51 +0000http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/?p=1434386#comment-159565Yzerman’s biggest mistake as GM obviously was trading Mike Smith, which has to still eat at him. This isn’t a mulligan, but he sure would like to have that behind him. This is expensive, since Conacher is the real deal. It’s a bit of a shocker.

Wed, 03 Apr 2013 18:29:29 +0000http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/?p=1434386#comment-159481Could prove to be a costly mistake for either GM but the trade addresses each teams needs and long term goals. Well done guys.

I was reading the Flyers were trying to get in on Bishop but they sure weren’t offering someone with Conacher’s ability.
